Campaign printing for local, state, and federal elections, delivered on time and on your schedule.
Elections don't wait. Neither do campaign print deadlines. From primary through general, we've been printing yard signs, door hangers, mailers, banners, and every other campaign piece for San Diego races for more than 40 years. Rush production when your push piece needs to drop tomorrow. Volume runs when you need 50,000 EDDM mailers by Friday. We treat campaign deadlines like they actually matter, because we know what happens if they don't.
More than 40 years printing for political campaigns
TPS Printing has produced campaign materials for candidates, committees, and ballot measure teams across San Diego County since 1982. Local school board and city council races. County-wide Board of Supervisors campaigns. State Assembly and State Senate. Congressional races. Ballot measure campaigns for every level.
We've printed for first-time candidates running their own field operations out of a Chula Vista garage to experienced campaign teams running multi-cycle operations across the region. Some orders are for 100 yard signs for a neighborhood school board race, while others are for 5000 yard signs for a statewide race. Same team, same rush response, same understanding that a printed piece late is a printed piece wasted.

Not sure what to order first?
Campaign print needs scale with the race, the budget, and the calendar. A first-time school board candidate probably needs 100 yard signs, 500 door hangers, and a stack of business cards. A federal race needs an integrated mail program hitting every household three times, plus visible signage across the whole territory.
If you don't know yet what makes sense for your race, that's normal. We've helped everyone from first-time candidates who just filed to experienced campaign managers scoping a full print budget. Tell us your timeline, budget, and target voter universe, and we'll help you build a print plan that fits.

What campaigns at your level usually order
What you print depends on the size of the race, the timeline, and the budget. The table below shows what customers at each level of race most often order from us. It is a starting point, not a limit.
| What kind of race | Example races | What campaigns at that level usually order |
|---|---|---|
| Local races | School board, city council, water district, planning commission | Yard signs, door hangers, postcards, business cards |
| County races | Board of Supervisors, county-wide ballot measures, sheriff | EDDM postcards, mailers, yard signs, outdoor banners |
| State races | State Assembly, State Senate, statewide measures | EDDM postcards, large-scale mailers, banners, push pieces |
| Federal races | Congressional races, downballot federal | EDDM mailers, door hangers, yard signs, integrated print programs |
| Ballot measure campaigns | Local, county, and state initiatives | Issue brochures, postcards, yard signs, push pieces |
| Issue advocacy | Non-candidate advocacy and voter education | Brochures, door hangers, posters, mailers |
If your race isn't on the list or your print mix is different, tell us what you're planning. Every campaign we've printed for was a little different from the last one.
How we handle campaign print at real campaign speed
Campaign print is judged on three things: does it get delivered before the drop deadline, does it look sharp enough that voters take it seriously, and can we handle the volume when your race scales up. Our shop is set up around all three.
One production floor, three sets of tools
High-volume mail runs, brochures, and postcards run on our high-speed digital press. Rush jobs and short runs go on our production digital press when you need 500 door hangers by Friday afternoon and there's no time for lengthy setup. Yard signs, outdoor banners, and field materials print on our wide-format printers with weather-tough inks that don't fade in California sun. All three sit on the same production floor, so a coordinated campaign order (signs + mailers + door hangers) moves through one team on one schedule.
Your campaign brand colors come out right. TPS has been G7-certified since 2014, the industry standard for consistent color reproduction. Send us your Pantone number and that is what you get on every piece.

POSTCARDS
Rush production, because campaign deadlines are unforgiving
Standard turnaround will vary depending on the item and quantity. Direct mail postcards typically fall between 5 to 7 business days while die cut door hangers are typically 7 to 10 business days. Campaign push pieces sometimes need to be done quicker though!. That’s why TPS offers rush production for most items. Call us with what you need and by when, and we'll tell you honestly whether we can make it happen.
We've printed same-day turnaround flyers for GOTV pushes and delivered yard signs to a campaign office Saturday morning for a Monday rally. When your race really needs it fast, we're set up to say yes.
How we make sure your materials look right
- Pre-flight artwork review before your file hits the press. We catch the common problems before they cost you a print run.
- Color checks against your approved brand targets
- Bindery inspections for fold alignment, registration, and finish consistency
- Final QA before packaging and shipment
- Same care for a 500-piece run as a 50,000-piece run
One vendor for everything your campaign prints
Most campaigns order more than one product, often across multiple waves through the cycle. The primary, the general, the GOTV push at the end. Order the whole thing from us and you get one team keeping your brand colors, logo, and messaging consistent across every piece.
One point of contact for the yard signs, the door hangers, the EDDM mailer, the banners, and the business cards. One person who knows your campaign, your timeline, and your revisions. You don't have to repeat the same explanation to five different vendors.
Print that doesn't undercut your platform
If your campaign platform includes environmental policy, the paper your yard signs and mailers get printed on matters. Sustainability isn't a marketing line at TPS Printing. It's a practice we've invested in continuously for more than 35 years.
- 30% PCW paper stocks as standard option, (100% available upon request for select items)
- FSC-certified paper Soy-based inks in use since 1990
- Active FSC and G7 certifications since 2014
- Solar-powered since 2012, covering a meaningful share of our production
- Comprehensive recycling for paper scraps and printing waste
For campaigns with an environmental platform, we can build eco-friendly materials and inks into your print spec from the start.
We're local. Really local.
Our shop is at 9906 Mesa Rim Road in Sorrento Valley. For San Diego campaigns, that means yard signs your volunteers can pick up Friday afternoon for a Saturday morning walk. It means push pieces we can deliver to your campaign office same-day for a final GOTV drop. It means we're 20 minutes from most campaign headquarters in the county.
Whether your race is in the city, in the county, or in the districts stretching from Chula Vista to Escondido, we're close enough to work with you at real campaign pace.
